Got a free 9"

So i got a free 9" from my grandfather. Been sitting at his house for a while, its a factory 9 from an old pickup. Is it worth buying the kit to adapt it to the f-body or just buy one preassembled? Or maybe just use the third member and forget the housing?

You could have it shortened and have all the brackets fabricated and welded on, but it may end up costing the same as just buying a new housing. You'd need new axles as well and the splines would have to match up with your differential (i.e: 31/31, 33/33, 35/35, etc.)

I didnt realize that ford 9's were that hard to come by, everyone here seems to want them pretty badly.

I at one time had 14 center sections for a 9" 3.62's all the way up through 4.11's. (Ive given a few away to friends). I dont know how many Ive still got laying around. I know for a fact Ive got 2 Detroit lockers (1-4.11 and 1 and 3.83) and at least 2 limited slip (or posi track) 4.11's

Yea go ahead an give me that number. I haven't heard of him before but i have heard of a shop in Valley Park that does 9"'s. Just never knew the name.

1-636-861-3900. I think the website is rear-gears.com yea go to a local guy if you had a problem you go to him not a hotline or tech support he been in business for 25 years I found out by a guy at work when I blew my 10bolt third member thre right now he cool he is a vintage top fuel funny car guy you go into the shop you will see the car he has all the parts you need he will buy or trade parts also only 9in parts if you have any more question just ask
